“Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday
Faulkner, burn ’em to ashes, then burn the
ashes.”
For Guy Montag, a career fireman
for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official
slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly
monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are
forbidden.
In 1953, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of
the world’s most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the artist Tim
Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into
a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur
with Bradbury’s full cooperation in this authorized
adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that
uniquely captures Montag’s awakening to the evil of
government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of
philosophy, theology, and literature.
Including an
original foreword by Ray Bradbury and fully depicting the
brilliance and force of his canonic and beloved masterwork,
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is an exceptional,
haunting work of graphic literature.
